I'm new at photography and using my camera. I was wondering if anyone knew how to keep from getting blurry objects when a person might suddenly move while the picture is being shot. The picture below is an example of what I'm trying to keep from happening all the time (the arm in the background)

Ok guys, you requested it, and here it is...Visit my blog to see how to create this effect yourself.

I know, I know. We see countless shots of the temple all over the place. I wanted to find one that was unique and creative. Hopefully this one is original enough to not fall into the stereoptypical "temple photos" category. Enjoy. And let me know what you think...

(PS- Believe it or not i took this shot with my point-and-shoot Canon Powershot SD750. That with a little photoshop trickery and ta-da. Turned out pretty cool i think.)

I took these pictures for a graphic design assignment on the elements of design but ended up with a few shots that I liked. all were taken with our canon rebel xti with a 50mm lens. This shot is of the side of 30 college ave, where Nic and I lived when we first got married so maybe i just like it for sentimental reasons. it is such a trashy place, it holds a place in my heart.1.8 f/stop125 isoshutter: 1/500 sec

Location: Sea World--I didn't take my SLR with me on this trip; instead, I decided to test out my new point-and-shoot. I think it did a pretty good job. I liked the colors and interesting shapes in this photo.

Location: Idaho Falls...as I am shooting this, these two ladies came out of a door to the left and they were just looking at me. I was laying on my back taking a picture of their wall at their work place, so it probably looked weird.
